Maybe, I wasn't clear about the problem.
There is no issue getting Sigil to set the particular image as the cover. That is fine.

The issue is getting all e-readers/tablets to display the cover as the default opening page when a book is selected. After comparing, the three major e-readers (kindle, nook, kobo), have their own way of choosing the first page to show. Nook shows the cover, kobo doesn't (it shows the first page in the TOC). What I am trying to figure out is how to add the existing cover in Sigil to the TOC. The code,
<h1 title="Cover"></h1>
after the <div> and before the <svg> seems to have worked, but as I am very inexperienced want to know if that will have any negative consequences or if there is a better way to add the cover image to the TOC.
